Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electric toothbrush (1) with a timer element (13) which when the brush is switched indicates to the user when one of possibly several brushing periods has elapsed. In addition, means (12) coupled to the timer element (13) are provided with which the user can set the start (T4) of the brushing period (PZD2). This ensures that one brushing period (PZD1) does not on elapsing automatically trigger the start (T4) of the next brushing period (PZD2) but allows the user freely to select the start (T4) of the next brushing period (PZD2).

Abstract: The machine has a housing (2a) which forms a chamber containing the working medium together with a heat-source (6) and sink (5). The regenerator (7) forms an intermediate heat-accumulator movable between source and sink, and the medium acts on a working piston (4). Compression movement of the piston generates medium flow from source to sink, and expansion movement flow in the reverse direction. The flow resistance offered by the regenerator causes its movement in relation to the medium. The source and skin can be situated near the piston dead-centre positions. They and the regenerator can form flat parallel components. The source can be situated between pistons and regenerator in the housing.

Abstract: The rolling stand assembly for single line rolling consists of a row of housings (6, 7). Each of the housings accommodates a pair of roll shafts and their drive. The housings are provided with side flanges, are oriented at an angle relative to the rolling line in an alternating manner, and are mounted on a support structure consisting of a base plate (3) and pairs of vertical support plates (1, 2) with seating surfaces (1a, 2a). Stiffening ribs (5) are positioned between the vertical support plates. The ribs (5) are joined to the base plate (3) and to the side surfaces of the vertical support plates. The stiffening ribs (5) take the form of a symmetrically bent plate whose parallel edges (5a) are joined to the base plate (3) while its angled edges are joined to the side surfaces of the support plates (1, 2). The outer surfaces of the stiffening ribs are distanced from the outer surfaces of the housings (6, 7). The seating surfaces (1a, 2a) lie in a plane which is parallel to the horizontal middle rolling plane. The side flanges of the housings (6, 7) consist of sections (8a, 8b; 9a, 9b) oriented at right angles to one another. The ribs (5) can function as chute surfaces for scale. The cavities bounded by the base plate, the ribs and the vertical support plate can be filled with a solidifying material such as concrete. Such filler material can be reinforced with elements joined to the inner surface of the ribs, the base plate or the vertical support plates.

Abstract: The system operates a drive motor for the lifting mechanism at two different speeds. The motor is electrically braked when switched from the higher to the lower speed. A motor current supply starts the motor moving at the different speeds or switches it off and has control inputs. A sensor detects the force on the load lifting mechanism. A control circuit connected to a demanded lifting speed input receives the sensor signal and feeds a control signal to the motor current supply. A control program compares the load signal with an overload threshold value depending on the load wt. and/or an event. If this limit is exceeded the current supply is switched to the low speed mode if the mode has not already been selected.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI97/00178 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 26, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 26, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 19, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/37203 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 9, 1997A measurement device and method for measuring tension in an optical fiber or wire. The measurement device includes a device for producing a vibration surge in the optical fiber or wire which vibrates at a certain, pre-selected frequency and advances as a linearly polarized wave. An optical location-sensitive detector measures the advancing speed (v) of the wave. An illuminator device illuminates the optical fiber or wire so that a shadow or an image of the vibrating fiber or wire is cast onto the indictor whereby the tension (T) of the optical fiber or wire is calculated from the equation T=v2xM, when M is the fiber mass per unit of length of the optical fiber or wire. The indicator device measures the time at which a departing wave surge passes by the indicator and the time at which an arriving wave surge reflected from a subsequent coating vat, or other wave reflector, passes by the indicator. The velocity of the wave is obtained from a difference in time between the departing wave surge and the arriving wave surge when the distance (X) between the indicator and the coating vat is known.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of filling a PDLC cell, a polymerizable mixture suitable for this purpose as well as a display device provided with such a PDLC cell. The mixture in accordance with the invention comprises two types of non-volatile reactive monomers, the first type of monomer being readily miscible with liquid crystalline material and the second type of monomer being poorly miscible with the liquid crystalline material. Such mixtures prove to be very stable. In addition, when such mixtures are used in cells, problems regarding compositional drift do not occur. Cells in which the inventive mixture is used demonstrate a relatively low hysteresis as well as relatively low switching voltage. By virtue thereof, it is very attractive to use these cells in a display device.
